Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I understand when people who haven't been taught about nutrition treat weight loss like some mythical unicorn. It's really unfortunate but I can't grudge ignorance (we were all there at one time) and I do what I can to help if they ask.

But I hate when my family treats it so mythically. It's silly. You watched me do what I had to do to lose weight. There's no secret- if there is, it's out, because you observed me every day as I woke up and ran and lifted weights and ate less crap. Why are you still asking me what my secret is?

Guh

So what is your secret?

When people ask me what my secret is I shit on their faces

Shit has mass

Once that mass leaves my body, I am lighter

Ergo I've lost weight

My secret to weight loss is shitting on the faces of people who inquire about the aforementioned secret

It's all quite meta

I should begin some healthier habits now so that I will be healthy when it begins to matter.

Me and my girlfriend go on a lot of walks, I don't drink much soda except the occasional Jones (which has no HFCS!), I rarely eat fast food anymore, etc.

But I would like to start running again. The girl says she is going to make me do stretches, too, so I can be a little more flexible. Also while cutting out some bad foods is good, actively eating healthier would be better and should help me to gain a little weight, right?

I dunno.

I guess the most sexist would be if he stopped being a hero and started beating on her and she made excuses to her friends about how she provoked him and really, he loved her, and he's the only one who listens.

You have two heroes, one man and one woman. They're unarmed. They find a handgun, and a rifle. Which is the least sexist or gender stereotypes distribution of weapons?

Which one has shot either a rifle or pistol before?

Both are skilled in all weapons approximately equally.

then it doesn't really matter does it?

It feels like a situation where no matter which choice you pick, it would be construed equally wrong. I don't know why. Of course pragmatically it's resolved by killing a bad guy and taking his weapons.

The rifle, something something phallic symbol, engendered power to the women allowing her to subvert gender roles and take power over the patriarchy, something something.

It is always stereotypically the rifle that the women would go for right?

Or.

The woman taking the rifle implies that she is to weak and or unskilled to get into or operate well in the shorter range required by the handgun, so she takes the handgun to upset stereotypes blah blah blah.

The real answer is the man has sex with the woman at gunpoint, because women are sex objects am i rite?
